Anara then focused her gaze on the child, who appeared to be cheering in response as they both spoke. "But I can say it suits a unique child like her perfectly."
"Then it's agreed," Orion responded before he shifted his attention to his cheerful, giggling daughter and gently rubbed her tummy.
"From today onwards, your name is Grace. Do you like it?" Orion asked.
His words and actions seemed to elicit a response from Grace as she extended both of her hands outward and laughed even louder, bringing smiles to both Orion and Anara's faces.
"I think she likes it," Orion remarked as he turned his attention back to Anara.
"I think so too," Anara replied.
She observed as Grace gradually calmed down from her laughter, growing quieter and occasionally yawning.
Orion, who had wanted to spend a bit more time with his first child, couldn't help but frown. "What's wrong?"
Anara sighed, noticing Orion's frown. "I think it may have to do with the fact that I might have given birth to her prematurely."142.93.60.102
"Prematurely?" Orion said, his frown deepening, with a raised eyebrow.
Now that he thought about it, Anara had given birth in an extremely short amount of time, which was unnatural for humans. He had initially attributed her early birth to the fact that she was a tree nymph, so he was both surprised and concerned that there might be some issues with Grace.
She playfully stretched her hands and pinched Orion's cheeks as if trying to turn his frown into a smile.
"Besides, I can get in there and stay with her if I want to. It's quite a unique experience, you know," she added with a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
Orion stared at her as if he had just been playfully tricked, and Anara erupted into a peal of laughter, clearly enjoying her little joke.
"It seems like you have become naughtier since giving birth," Orion said as he stretched, wrapping one arm around Anara's waist and snaking his hand into her thin, deep green dress so that he could properly grab her golden-coloured buttocks before driving his fingers between her thighs and beginning to slowly caress her golden flower. This caused Anara to let out a deep moan.
"I will deal with you later," Orion said with a smile as he watched her frown, probably realizing the underlying meaning of what he meant. Regardless, Orion continued, "But for now, I would like to ask you a question. "
Anara raised a brow at Orion's words. "What is it?"
Orion cleared his throat and knelt down, taking Anara's hand with one hand.
"Anara, will you be my partner?" he asked.
Initially confused by his sudden gesture, Anara's eyes widened in surprise as she sought confirmation. "Are... Are you sure?" She understood the significance of this request – a partner was a sacred pact between two individuals, binding their lives together.
Anara wanted to ensure Orion was fully aware of what he was asking. "There has never been a case of a tree nymph becoming the partner of a villager before, so I think that you..."
Orion interrupted her gently. "There has also never been a situation where a tree nymph has been impregnated by a villager before, so I don't think there's anything to complain about."
Normally, this should have been an easy task. Orion could walk up to any woman in the village who didn't have a partner, regardless of age, and offer himself without the need to fully care for the child.
However, he realized that even though Grace might influence her decision, whether she wanted to become his partner depended on her own desires.
Meanwhile, Anara continued to stare at Orion in deep thought.
